Sometimes you ask yourself, can you also let a demolished KTV play?
Philips K80 foto 2
If something no longer works, you can scrap such a device. And what would be the reason why it was demolished. Here I show that everything is fixable. It just doesn't matter how wrecked incomplete something is.
Philips K80 foto 3
Look this is a line oscillator. You can use this to bend the image on a picture tube. And make high voltage to get light into the picture tube. And it just works.
Philips K80 foto 4
Look this is part of a K80 chassis with a working line oscillator on it. The high voltage print is included separately. Fortunately, all the wires have been cut. So it's going to be a loose setup again.
Philips K80 foto 5
And here the high voltage part and you guessed it the line transformer is defective.
Philips K80 foto 6
Here's another test with a separate K8 transformer. And the high voltage works a bit. Then you immediately know why this television had to be demolished.
Philips K80 foto 7
Because where could you find a line transformer? except nowhere.
Philips K80 foto 8
They say. That they cannot be separated.
Philips K80 foto 9
And yes I don't care about that I'm self wise people will say.
Philips K80 foto 10
But you can unwind a line transformer very well.
Philips K80 foto 11
What is immediately noticeable is that the insulation has completely decayed.
Philips K80 foto 12
And look there. There you have a burn hole in the booster coil. Now you know right away that my ridiculous diagnosis is correct.
Philips K80 foto 13
With some pieces of aluminum you can put some prints back together so that it is a whole.
Philips K80 foto 14
I'm sorry I didn't get it right, but who cares.
Philips K80 foto 15
The wiring is completely broken so we have to fix that.
Philips K80 foto 16
Look there he is again. Nice it just keeps working.
Philips K80 foto 17
Beautiful chassis, it is the Swedish version of the K8, but with much better PCBs and a completely different high voltage generator.
Philips K80 foto 18
Here's a test with the vertical deflection also works. Incredible right?
Philips K80 foto 19
Well enough played we need a power supply.
Philips K80 foto 20
And because I didn't have a power supply print. I just made one myself. What else can you do.
Philips K80 foto 21
Drill the holes first. And then mill some print traces with the dremel. It's nice that it's all possible.
Philips K80 foto 22
You see it's becoming something.
Philips K80 foto 23
Good enough it's time for a saw.
Philips K80 foto 24
Just look beautiful. indistinguishable from the real thing.
Philips K80 foto 25
See if we can solder some components on it.
Philips K80 foto 26
So here we have a power supply for a Philips K80
Philips K80 foto 27
The first test. The tubes burn beautifully. You just don't believe that.
Philips K80 foto 28
And look how nicely that power supply fits behind the chassis.
Philips K80 foto 29
And do you still recognize him. Now completely on its own power supply. You see the television is already workin a little bit.
Philips K80 foto 30
There are a lot of transistor circuits on this chassis and they also need a power supply.
Philips K80 foto 31
First the -25 volts.
Philips K80 foto 32
Isn't it beautiful.
Philips K80 foto 33
The plus 25 and the plus 12 also went like this and then...
Philips K80 foto 34
Do you have noise and snow from the receiver.
Philips K80 foto 35
OK then it's time to find a channel, maybe we can receive something on a demolition device.
Philips K80 foto 36
Look wiring of the keypad made yes you can pull plugs. But cutting is more fun.
Philips K80 foto 37
And look at the scope.
Philips K80 foto 38
What do we recognize in this? Except nothing.
Philips K80 foto 39
Yes of course video signal the TV receiver just works.
Philips K80 foto 40
Look what a nice stable signal.
Philips K80 foto 41
Spray the power supply board in the paint against oxide of the copper.
Philips K80 foto 42
Isn't this nice setup? Front upside down. Then it stays.
Philips K80 foto 43
Video from the PL802 can be transferred to a picture tube.
Philips K80 foto 44
Well, beautiful puppet show, what are we missing now?
Philips K80 foto 45
Precisely the line transformer that you will not find anywhere or should there be anyway.. no, don't believe it.
Philips K80 foto 46
But with copper wire you can of course do some winding.
Philips K80 foto 47
The first tests a booster voltage of 800 volts and still no fire.
Philips K80 foto 48
That recoil impulse is beautiful, isn't it?
Philips K80 foto 49
Look and this is how you do the first fire test. And you need that line oscillator for that.
Philips K80 foto 50
OK more booster.
Philips K80 foto 51
Just 1000 volts and continues to work who would have thought that.
Philips K80 foto 52
And look at this line transformer, no horse will believe that.
Philips K80 foto 53
The inner part is still original.
Philips K80 foto 54
Coil for the cascade around it and go.
Philips K80 foto 55
Look, pulses from the high voltage.
Philips K80 foto 56
And look here, where is the line transformer.
Philips K80 foto 57
Look where he belongs. There's the line transformer.
Philips K80 foto 58
Focus print screwed onto the line transformer.
Philips K80 foto 59
The booster is going well again.
Philips K80 foto 60
Pulses are good for now.
Philips K80 foto 61
And wow. The vertical deflection is also involved.
Philips K80 foto 62
Video from the video amplifier.
Philips K80 foto 63
Just the test image.
Philips K80 foto 64
Rotten diode booster voltage seems OK.
Philips K80 foto 65
No fire to be seen at all.
Philips K80 foto 66
Pulses are beautiful.
Philips K80 foto 67
High voltage tubes also love it.
Philips K80 foto 68
And unloaded 27kv we are now missing one more thing. The picture tube.
Philips K80 foto 69
All right, just hang a picture tube on the chassis.
Philips K80 foto 70
And then there is also a picture. Who would have believed that.
Philips K80 foto 71
A cabinet is not necessary. That's how it goes.
Philips K80 foto 72
Beautiful image OK we are still missing something but that will come.
Philips K80 foto 73
For now it works a bit.
Philips K80 foto 74
And on the picture it looks beautiful.
Philips K80 foto 75
Don't try this at home!!!
Philips K80 foto 76
The BU126 on the side of the high voltage. Supplies part of the energy to the high voltage generator. And also the east / west is controlled via this circuit.
Philips K80 foto 77
In my don't try this at home setup the bu126 continued to supply energy when only the low voltage power supply was still running. Normally this circuit is synchronized by the high voltage. Here it is now free running at a higher frequency than usual.
Philips K80 foto 78
Because the wiring of the convergence panel was also cut. We had free run here.
Philips K80 foto 79
A setting and switching on and off of blue is also done via the convergence panel. That's why the image is a bit green.
Philips K80 foto 80
With some tinkering with the pal identification we have color.
Philips K80 foto 81
Pal identification.
Philips K80 foto 82
The test image
Philips K80 foto 83
color bars
Philips K80 foto 84
Just the setup.
Philips K80 foto 85
Fixed the wiring of the convergence panel.
Philips K80 foto 86
Convergence and white balance adjusted.
Philips K80 foto 87
Three good PCF200 tubes and then you do not know what you see.
Philips K80 foto 88
The separate transformer provides the low voltage power supply. And I didn't have the right transformer. But with some help windings it went well.
Philips K80 foto 89
Adjusting here and there.
Philips K80 foto 90
Straighten east west.
Philips K80 foto 91
Just the separate transformer, unfortunately I didn't have the original one. But it went fine.
Philips K80 foto 92
And then the thing plays beautifully. So you see that everything can be repaired. But also know what you are doing. These kinds of experiments are life-threatening.
